“Kid, I think you’ve forgotten which one of us is the Batman and which one of us is the Robin. There’s no way I’m sitting through one of those pompous and boring Justice League meetings, and you can’t make me, because you are not the boss of me.” --- Jason was sitting in a Justice League meeting dressed as Batman.

Tim is very persuasive (chp. 8)

“The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to-”

“Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”

Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.

“You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”

“You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.

“No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”

Jason bluescreened.

(Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)

Summary:

“What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?” And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books. “I want to go to college.” And Talia had made that happen for him. (AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

The kid dead-ass pulled out a tablet from behind his back to show Red Hood the screen. It was a powerpoint. The kid, honest to God, was showing him a powerpoint.

Tim’s debate strategies are a new experience for Jason (chp. 1)
